Graduation Day

The photos on this page are taken from Graduation Day at the Blue Ridge Community College, Hendersonville, in 2007. I was there to see my good friend Connie graduate, and it was interesting for me to see how formal the ceremony was, compared to what we would do here in the UK.

The crowds gathering, before the start of the ceremony

The students - in full dress - march to their places

Then we begin the speeches

And the students are awarded their degrees in turn

All the students sit together at the front of the gathering

And when everyone has graduated, the ceremony is over and everyone gets ready to leave
